signs: Amsterdam

For the temporary KadS manifestation, Meester has produced seven yellow traffic signs, entitled ‘Signs’. They feature inspirational and relativistic texts, which can be interpreted in a number of ways in relation to the local residents, visitors, neighbourhood and the temporary art manifestation. The yellow signs, which are originally used to direct traffic and indicate diversions, are given a whole new significance and, in combination with the context, various layers of meaning. They give direction in their own way, based on thought processes, imagination and reflection. The signs are placed at various locations on the art route.

Participating artists: Margit Aba, Maze de Boer, Jasper van den Brink, Peter Cleutjens, Go Eun Im, Marisol Ferradás, Jasper Griepink, Christian Giustina & Cees de Boer, Saskia Noor van Imhoff, Doina Kraal, Alberto de Michele, Helen Morse Palmer, Hester Oerlemans, Mischa Rakier, Natasha Rosling, Theo Tomson, Peter Vink, Oorbeek.
